# User Guide A quick way to obtain Fare calculation without a PNR This functionality is mostly used in cases when the agent needs to receive a specific Fare calculation which is not returned by the system after >FQ< or >FQBB< based on PNR or if PNR cannot be used, e.g. PNR is partly flown and the agent needs to find correct RBD (booking class) for return travel or if upgrade to higher Fare has to be calculated for the whole journey including flown sectors. As the entry with all modifiers is quite complicated, FQP Assistant installed in agents’ Smartpoint can significantly simplify this functionality and make it easier to all agents.

FQP Assistant in Smartpoint After the installation, the FQP entry is stored in Quick commands and you can use the entry \#FQP< to start FQP Assistant. **Important note – the Fare calculation returned by the system is for information only. FQP function cannot read category 4 – Flight information of the appropriate Fare Rule because flight number cannot be entered.** The detailed description of FQP function can be found in the system in help section: >H/FQP<

It is useful to enter SPCLS or NORMS in Fare basis field in case when no booking codes or specific Fare basis codes are used. It can help you to obtain more Fares.

When SPCLS is entered in the Fare basis fields, 10 different Fares are returned by the system, which is maximum.

When booking codes (RBDs) are entered, only the corresponding Fare is returned.

The agent can print this Fare calculation or copy it to some document. When specific Fare basis instead of SPCLS is used – only one corresponding Fare is returned.

\*NEED RULE VALIDATION When the Fare basis is used in FQP entry, it means that the system is forced to return required Fare even if the conditions of the appropriate Fare Rule are not sometimes met, Warning message \*NEED RULE VALIDATION is displayed under the Fare calculation to point out that the Rule conditions must be checked.
